The payments provider Onafriq has launched a first-of-its-kind cross-border payment service in Ghana through its partnership with the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS) to enhance economic integration across the continent.
The joint pilot program initiated on June 20, 2025, provides seamless outbound transactions as the first major outcome from the 2022 partnership.
Through PAPSS's existing network, Onafriq enables Ghana's banks, fintechs, and mobile money operators to provide fast, secure, and economical transfers directly to mobile wallets and bank accounts across the continent.
The initiative supports the broader objective of increasing intra-African trade and financial inclusion through simplified cross-border payment services for businesses and individuals at all scales.
